The Modernist House presents a global survey of 100 iconic houses. Organized chronologically, this exciting collection begins in the early twentieth century and traces the development of architecture's response to living in an industrialized world. The selection includes key works from the 1920s and 1930s, and goes on to explore the International Style they inspired. Later works are influenced by architectural debates about regional influences and responses to globalization. Every aspect of the Modernist house is explored: the concern for new materials and technology, the rejection of ornament and a predilection for plain surfaces and open-plan living. Here is the chance to compare the work of the world's best-known Modern architects, through their most significant houses. The Modernist House is an essential guide to this period of architectural history.

The Art Museum offers the museum experience without the boundaries of space and time. The unique structure of the book has been created by specialists in all fields of art, from institutions worldwide, who have collected together important and innovative works as they might be displayed in the ideal museum for the art lover.
As any great museum the book is divided into galleries, presenting the extraordinary variety of artistic output, from ancient Greece, to Australasia and Oceania, Byzantine art to that of the Pre-Columbian Americas, the Renaissance to twentieth-century art, with an emphasis on later western art. Rooms examine important aspects and movements within the gallery. Corridors between the rooms allow the reader to focus on seminal works of each period and culture, with the huge reproduction format allowing for detailed examination.
The rooms present the finest examples of human creativity, each piece labelled with key data (including dates, medium and dimensions) alongside a brief description, and the group of works explained by a curator. Painting, sculpture, metalwork, textiles and ceramics comprise the wide variety offered to the reader, as individual works are all contextualised with expert contributors detailing the works’ significance to the evolution of art history. With cross-references throughout, a comprehensive glossary and detailed location maps, The Art Museum is both fantastic to browse through and an indispensable guide to art throughout the ages.
